Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day 👻🧛‍♂️ What’s happening in Dracula’s library? Hi Art Directors, Editors, and Book Designers! Clary here 👋 I’m a #kidlit #illustrator based in the U.S. I’d love to work on any fun Halloween stories with you 🎃 ✨ Rep’d by Tracy Marchini Literary 🖥️ claryillustration.com

In a dark, dusty library full of cobwebs, a little ghost just stumbled upon a book on the shelves. What the ghost doesn’t realize is that Dracula’s portrait on the wall has come to life around the corner. What’s going to happen next? Will the black cat give the tiny ghost a heads-up about it?

Trying to manifest my dream bike by picking up a fancy new Crane bell last night, up at La Bicicletta north of the Beltline Trail. #BikeTO #bikesky

Still in the black packaging, a polished copper dome of a bell, super shiny with me and reflected trees and sky in it. “E-Ne bell” by Crane, from Japan.

American Tree Sparrow for a J.W. Thank you so much for your #Waymakers donation! 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt Together we raised $1594 this year to help immigrant kids in the US. They need it more than ever - it helps find family, ensure their safety, & provide legal support & basic supplies. Thank you all!

Illustration of a very round cute fluffy American Tree Sparrow perched on a thin twig in pale winter sunlight. Falling snow blankets a twiggy shrub in the background. The little sparrow has a rufous crown, eyestripe, and back, a black and yellow bill, and a soft gray belly with a black central spot.

Lignin chemistry!! I’ve drawn a line tree with the lignin polymer behind it. I’ve drawn it as one single polymer throughout! This messy, highly irregular biopolymer gives plants structural strength and helps protect their cell walls. #sciart #chemsky

Started as a little study and became another one of the 'Secret Society of Unpractical Headpieces in Space' series (that still does not exist) 🪐

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira showing a black woman with an elaborate golden headpiece. Her hair is curly and long, she's wearing a dress, and gold and blue make up on her eyes. She is framed by a circle and behind her there is a space view with a star and small planets.

It's just a little guy... though I learned after painting this that the (actually pretty large!) Cuban tree frog is destructive to ecosystems where they're introduced. 🥺 Watercolor pastel, watercolor, and gouache on 9x12in 300g paper. #SciArt #herps #amphibians #frogs

Painting of a large tree frog clinging to one brick of a wall, its head turned to look at the viewer. The brick wall is mostly pinkish and purple, which is reflected in the underbelly of the frog and contrasts against the yellow-green of its back.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

Standard-winged Nightjar for A.E.! Thank you for your #Waymakers donation! 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt We're down to the last day for donations, don't miss out! Every dollar goes to helping immigrant kids in the US! Donate here: youngcenter.donordrive.com/campaigns/Bi... @theyoungcenter.bsky.social

Illustration of a Standard-winged Nightjar doing a display flight in front of a big beautiful glowing full moon. The nightjar, a mottled gray/brown/white bird, has long pointed wingtips, a short stubby beak, and a big black eye. It is flying with wings bent low in an upside-down U shape while wiggling its strange "standards" - elongated huge shiny black primaries that bend upward from the wings and look like black pointed flags.
